If Pep wants to win this, he'll take Haaland off.

Put off the drink

Doku is too erratic, rather see Bobb on.

Agree. I like Doku but not the game for him

 

[Zenmanc]

You’re in this thread?

Ok, thanks

We've played much better than that before and taken a bit of a beating. Have to change it. Our front 4 press is piss poor, not getting remotely close to forcing a turnover so why have we got Bernardo chasing pointless balls ahead of haaland? They're playing simple balls that bypass our entire front line and leave us open. Bernardo has to sit next to rodri, especially now that Rodri's on a stupid yellow and is now a red card walking if we continue to play like this. Stones is going too far upfield and is out of thr game when we lose the ball. Alvarez has worked hard but fuck me his first touch is abysmal, can't be in possession of the ball so deep when he can't control it, needs pushing up the pitch or taking off. Kdb has looked fucked since kick off and isn't in the game.

Ideally I'd get kovacic on, Bernardo and foden out wide then either kdb or alvarez behind haaland and the other comes off or if we dint make a change just drop Bernardo into where kovacic would sit.

Needs to change if we are to take the 3 points here, and we need to push for a second and even a third as they'll score with a helping hand from the officials if needs be. we've not tested their makeshift defence anywhere near enough.

Cant take KDB off. He always has the potential of scoring the winner/assisting it. I think Alvarez off for more control on the ball with Kovacic on and Silva out wide.

Me too, hopefully get a second then get Bobb on for Alvarez.

Neville is a fucking joke
He knows whatever he says will be used as sticks to beat City with and thinks he’s being sneaky the rancid little twat

McAllister didn’t even know Stones was there

 

[wolviedinho]

This is going to be a shit next 45 and breathe.

Need to start yoga or getting hammered for the city games -:)

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Alverez not been great with the ball. But watch him without it, he never gives up. Still important player, just needs to settle down on the ball and make rhe pass.

Try convincing Ake that Alvarez has been good defensively. Ake has a near impossible job at times. And remember, Salah is waiting in the wings….

 

[Silva Citizen]

Foden wasted out wide, much more effective when cutting in.

It’s a bit like watching England under Erikson. Scholes Gerard Lampard all swueezed into a side with only one position available. That’s where we are with KDB Foden and Alverez.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Doku in this game would be even worse than Alvarez.

He’s got recovery on Alverez; there’s been 3/4 occasions where he’s bombed on and still got back in, won’t happen with Doku, he’ll have to be more reserved

 

[KennyG]

The worry is Alvarez. Fish out of water. Hasn’t got the technique to be so deep. Wish Pep would trust Bobb.

 

[Bluewars]

If Haaland is the worse big man header I've seen Alvarez has probably the worst touch of an Argentine forward I've seen, constantly loses the ball and that Rodri yellow was all his fault, decent stuff so far but you get the feeling we'll need a second.

He's from the Balkans, that man is not Argentinian.

 

[Nellies left peg]

We’ve been on the back foot for most of the game bar the first ten minutes

Soak it up and they’ll burn out . No need to panic yet mate

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Haven't seen anything like it all season, not sure if the occasion has got to him or he's just shit

His touch isn’t great for me. He has other attributes but he needs to be better in the control and better in the pass.

 

[CTID1988]

Need an early goal in this second half to control it, hopefully get our bollocks back and stop looking like we are shitting our pants. You can just sense that those twats are going to score at least one.

 

[Cellarite]

How come Ratboy is suddenly noticing throw ins taking a bit of time? Fucking horrible rag ****.

 

[heslops barnet]

Salah will score one and assist one. You guys need 3 to win I think.

You’re just hoping for dipper goals tarquin…..

 

[cookster]

Rodri set up a few Liverpool attacks, as well. Should we hook him, too?

Nerves definitely get too him. He was the same in the CL final.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Haven't seen anything like it all season, not sure if the occasion has got to him or he's just shit

Get real, he has put a shift in.... will be happy for him to come out for second half, he really isn't that bad.

 

[SWP's back]

Fuck me you’ve had some shite takes tonight.
